This is great for us fans. I mean, with 200x getting cancelled 8 or 9 years ago whichever, then the "well subs are down the line is in trouble"......we showed them what we are made of and we all deserve every bit of this for the many years of heartbreak we have endured and kept up the good fight.

Now let the bickering begin!
-"i want Filmation teeth on the fašade!"
-"I'm dropping the line if the flag isn't made of fabric"...
-"I'm sueing Toyguru for not including the grayskull space armor".
-"there's no great rebellion characters on the box art! "
-"this isn't a 100 per cent accurate to the REAL castle Grayskull"
-"i can't believe they used GREEN PLASTiC!"
-"omg I think the front teeth are REVERSED!"
-"swiftwind riding battle cat doesn't fit through the door! mattel is killing the line!"
Etc. etc.

I mentioned in my earlier posts in this thread that if was based neither on Filmation nor the '87 movie, that I wouldn't preorder it. As soon as I saw the B sheets on the projection screen at NYCC, my interest was completely lost. This is an easy $300 saved, and I suspect I am one of legions who feel that way, judging by the thermometer. It should have been like the statue, like Bow, like Frosta, like Bow, like He-Man, like Beast Man, and like BP She-Ra - in other words, it should have combined all the most popular previous interpretations like the most fan-acclaimed installments in the MOTUC line have done.

Hopefully this will fail so a preorder for a Filmation castle can come.

Masterprime, your first CG? You are in for a real treat. Now we just need to wait one more year.....but it will be worth it. Big Time!

Yup first one! I've always wanted to get one but was just one of those "Oh I can get that any time" type of deal but just never got around to it. I'm so glad that I waited for this monster of a fortress because it looks so epic!

Yeah... if they did THAT and added the crown, I MAYBE would have pre-ordered.

Something about the MYP castle.... its simple and yet its giant open space is terrifying. The Filmation one to me, as iconic as it was growning up with, seems kinda silly looking at it, like it was more of a beast than a castle. Again, the toy will have some weird playmat sculpted under it but it should be in the middle of nothingness.
